Automated design of hydraulic manifolds for Metal Binder Jetting
Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) has emerged as a promising and complementing process for metal AM next to Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). MBJ has many advantages but also brings new challenges, which have direct implications for the design process. In previous research at pdz automated design tools for LPBF have been developed. The goal of this project is to develop application-specific design guidelines for MBJ and integrate these into a current design workflow for LPBF, enabling the automated design of hydraulic manifolds manufactured with MBJ. This project is performed in close collaboration with an industrial partner.
